It is easy to subtract fractions by converting them into decimals first. To convert is numerator divided by denominator. So, 10 1/2 would be 10.5 and 8 3/4 would be 8. 75. Now, you can subtract them. Start at the hundredth place so subtract 5 from 0 ( because 10.5 can also be 10.50) so it would be 5. Next,  5 -7 ( so you borrow 1 from 10 so 5 would become 15 and 10 is 9) is 7. Last, subtract your whole number. 9 - 8 = 1. So, your answer would be 1. 75. To convert it to fraction, you need to write it as 1 75/ 100 and simplify it which is 1 3/4. So, Carla's plant is 1 3/4 inches taller than Yolanda's plant Hope it helps!!!!

The sum of two numbers is 9. And the sum of their reciprocals is 1/2.find the numbers
Musya8 [376]
Set up a system of equations:

x + y = 9
1/x +1/y = 1/2

The easiest way to solve would be substitution.
x + y = 9 can be solved for y:

y = 9 - x

Then plug this into the second equation and solve for x:

1/x + 1/(9-x) = 1/2
(9-x) + x = x(9-x)/2
9 = (9x-x²)2
18 = 9x - x²
x² - 9x + 18 = 0
(x-6)(x-3) = 0
x = 6, 3

You can check your answer by plugging the two numbers back into both of the equations:

6 + 3 = 9
1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2

The two numbers are 6 and 3.
